Christian Louboutin Supra Fifre Thigh-high Boots

Thigh-high boots are dangerous territory because they can easily look…well, wrong. Think cheap-y and stripperish! But let us not judge too hasty here because over-the-knee boots can also look super hot and fabulous. Case in point? These Christian Louboutin OTK boots. The black suede tones down the Pretty Woman resemblance factor by quite a bit while the lacing detail gives them a vintage Victorian feel.

These are thigh-high boots done right, but oh, €1,335 for a pair? I think I’ll have to pass this time!

So you want Louboutin style but for less – a lot less – right? Well, worry not, Berskha has got you covered. Don’t be fooled though, the boots are from a past season. Anyway, I love the way that blogger Laura Ruiz – Ármodi  wear them.

Came across these Louboutin inspired faux suede OTK boots by JustFab. What do you think about these? Yay or nay?

Alexa Chung – Vintage YSL peasant blouse inspiration

There is one thing for sure that you must know by now:  the 70’s are back in full force.

The reference point for most designers goes back to YSL and what he did in the 1970’s.  From the color palette to his famous Gypsy collection, everyone from Marc Jacobs, Fendi, D&G, Etro and Ferretti are all getting on board for Spring 2011.

One of the standout trends that we have spotted is the Peasant Blouse. Done in many variations, we’ve seen off the shoulder, embroidered and romantic styles.

When it comes to wearing this boho chic staple in a modern way, look no further than Alexa Chung. The trendsetter was spotted in New York earlier this year in a breezy vintage blouse embellished with intricate red needlework. But instead of pairing the top with a flowy maxi skirt and beaded sandals, the trendsetter opted for vintage cutoffs, Topshop’s Crochet Shopper Bag ($76), and edgy Mishka Liliana Sandals ($375) in Black Patent, which restrain the outfit from looking like a total flashback.

My Vintage Camera & Me

Dear NSMV readers, I’m moving to France, and I start to feel a little bit «stoned» maybe because of  the glue contained in the packaging tape, maybe because too much things to do are driving me crazy (or, if you prefer, crazier).

Meanwhile let me entertain you with this rare and gorgeous vintage Rolleiflex camera which is going to be the perfect present for my beloverd brother. Hope you like it.

Kate Moss & Jamie Hince Wedding

Español (English Version below)

Es un hecho, Kate y Jamie se han casado hoy ¡viva!

Kate ha lucido un el vestido de John Galliano con plumeti de color blanco roto con paillettes y bordados que en la parte inferior de la falda son de color dorados inspirados en Zelda Fitzgerald. Los accesorios escogidos por nuestra Moss han sido; un precioso ramo de rosas rosas y blancas, un delicado velo de estilo vintage con bordados, unas sandalias de Manolo Blahnik diseñadas especialmente para la ocasión por su director creativo, y una sensacional diadema con detalle de perlas a ambos lados.

Por su parte, Jamie se ha decantado por un traje gris azulado de corte clásico y chaqueta cruzada de Yves Saint Laurent, botines negros y unas rockeras gafas de sol de Carrera.

La pareja ha salido a saludar tras la ceremonia en la iglesia de San Pedro en Little Faringdon, en la zona de Cotswolds en Oxfordshire (muy cerca de donde actualmente resido). Voy a empaparme del espíritu local a ver si puedo hacerme un Mecano y marcarme esos compases de «en tu fiesta me colé«.

Kate Moss tied the knot today with Jamie Hince from The Kills in a custom dress by designer John Galliano. Her groovy new hubs wears a blue suit by Stefano Pilati for YSL.

Personally, I think it’s pretty much perfection—from the cream color to the gold leaf detailing at the bottom and the vintage lace veil. On the beauty front, Kate’s sunny highlights create such a beautiful glow around her face that she just radiates natural beauty.


MC’s Senior Fashion Editor Zanna Roberts Rassi says, «Not too white, not too sparkly, not too tight, not too much make up, not too much jewelry, not too much blonde…just the right amount of Kate. She owns the look, it doesn’t own her. All hail our other Princess Kate!»

Agreed. And congrats to the newlyweds!
